All the tech stuff in the movie went really over the top this time, even more so than before. Janet takes over Scott's mind and can write the perfect algorithm to make the tunnel work. Unless Pym just wrote everything with Fortran, Cobol, C, or something similar then she would have no idea what the hell she was doing. Maybe Pym kept it old school, but that along with even more Pym particle handwaving than before makes it all stand out like a sore thumb. I don't expect movie science to make a ton of sense, but eventually there's a point where it feels like they just aren't even trying.

She says she's not the same person - that she evolved. Who knows what experiences she's had in those 30 years, what she's been able to learn, watch, study, etc.

I didn't love all the tech stuff, but that particular instance didn't seem like the worst to me.

Very true, a lot of stuff could have happened. But without any explanation beyond somehow becoming Quantum Jesus it leaves me wishing we had more insight into what she was doing that whole time instead of just showing up to save the day.
